Abstract

The Melukat ritual, a Balinese Hindu spiritual purification practice that has recently gained popularity as “healing” content on TikTok, has become a site of religious identity contestation among Indonesian Muslims. This study examines how the hadith on Tashabbuh (“Whoever imitates a people is one of them”) is negotiated in the comments section of the content “Muslim but Practicing Melukat in Bali?” by the account @kadamsidik00. Previous studies have tended to separate analyses of offline Hindu-Islamic cultural syncretism from theological debates and rarely connect them to the dynamics of digital platforms. Existing scholarship has paid limited attention to how classical doctrines such as Tashabbuh are affectively and algorithmically negotiated within TikTok comment sections. Drawing on a four-phase non-participatory netnography (investigation, interaction, immersion, integration) of 200 selected comments, the findings reveal that the Contra cluster predominates (49%) characterized by public regret and repentance, followed by the Ambivalent cluster (23%) that actively seeks fiqh clarification, and the Pro/Acculturative cluster that employs local cultural analogies. Creators establish authority through selective likes and minimalist responses. Theoretically, these findings expand the frameworks of “Networked Religion” (Campbell) and “Cyber-Islamic Environments” (Bunt) by introducing algorithmic religious authority and affective identity negotiation as mechanisms for negotiating Islamic identity in the algorithmic era of the Global South. This study demonstrates that TikTok functions as a dynamic arena where religious boundaries are continuously reproduced and negotiated through affective interactions and platform logic.

Abstract

This article examines Al-Ghazali’s epistemology of religion with particular attention to the relationship between reason and revelation. Contrary to the common portrayal of Al-Ghazali as an opponent of philosophy, it argues that he develops an epistemological framework that transcends the classical dichotomy between rationalism and theological authority. Employing a historical-conceptual reconstruction of key texts, including Iḥyāʾ ʿUlūm al-Dīn, Tahāfut al-Falāsifah, Al-Qisṭās al-Mustaqīm, Al-Munqidh min al-Ḍalāl, and Qānūn al-Taʾwīl, the study demonstrates that Al-Ghazali does not merely reconcile reason and revelation but assigns each a distinct epistemic function. Reason serves not only as an interpretive instrument but also as a means of verifying prophetic legitimacy, thereby establishing the epistemic authority of revelation. On this basis, the article argues that Al-Ghazali’s thought offers a dialogical and integrative model of religious knowledge in which rational inquiry and revelation operate within a single epistemic framework. This finding contributes not only to Ghazalian studies but also to contemporary philosophy of religion by proposing an alternative to both rationalist and fideistic approaches to religious justification

Abstract

This study examines the making of janur-based Javanese ritual objects as a form of Islamic ecological pedagogy and cultural mitigation in a heritage-city context. The article addresses a gap in Islamic environmental studies, where ecological ethics is often discussed normatively through concepts such as tawhid, khalīfah, amānah, and āyāt kauniyyah, while less attention is paid to how these concepts are embodied in local cultural practice. Based on a participatory qualitative study conducted at Sanggar Sarudjuk, Serengan, Surakarta, involving seventeen children and community facilitators, this research combines participant observation, visual documentation, reflective autoethnography, and symbolic hermeneutics. The findings show that the practice of making janur keris, kembar mayang, and cengkir gading reactivates symbolic memory, trains embodied ecological sensitivity, and translates Islamic environmental ethics into a lived Javanese cultural form. Janur is interpreted not merely as ritual material but as a vegetal medium through which children encounter nature, bodily discipline, intergenerational memory, and awareness of divine trust. The study contributes to Islamic studies by proposing Javanese-Islamic ecotheology as a lived ethical framework rather than a purely doctrinal discourse. It also contributes to heritage-city studies by framing cultural mitigation as the revitalization of ecological, spiritual, and symbolic relations through small-scale participatory practice.

Abstract

The legacy of colonialism has shaped Qur'anic studies through the dominance of Orientalist and Eurocentric methodologies that have marginalized the epistemic authority of the Islamic exegetical tradition. Although postcolonial Qur'anic studies have developed considerably, existing scholarship has largely focused on critiquing Orientalism without formulating contextual tafsir as a postcolonial epistemological framework integrated with maqāṣid al-sharīʿah. This study aims to examine how contextual tafsir can function as a methodology for decolonizing Qur'anic studies while reconstructing the epistemic authority of Islamic interpretation. Employing a library-based research design with an interpretive approach, the study applies thematic analysis of Qur'anic verses, examines their asbāb al-nuzūl (occasions of revelation), and critically engages with the literature on contextual tafsir, postcolonial theory, and maqāṣid al-sharīʿah. The findings demonstrate that the decolonization of Qur'anic studies requires the integration of three interrelated components: postcolonial critique as an analytical instrument for exposing epistemic domination, contextual tafsir as an interpretive methodology that connects the Qur'anic text with contemporary social realities, and maqāṣid al-sharīʿah as a normative framework that directs interpretation toward justice, public welfare, the protection of human dignity, and the common good. The integration of these three components produces an epistemological framework that shifts Qur'anic studies beyond reductionist historical-philological approaches toward a contextual, normative, and transformative paradigm of interpretation. This study proposes an integrative model of postcolonial contextual tafsir as a theoretical contribution to the decolonization of Qur'anic studies and to strengthening the epistemic sovereignty of the Islamic exegetical tradition in addressing contemporary challenges.

Abstract

Studies on religious authority within the Arab diaspora in Indonesia have primarily focused on genealogical legitimacy, charismatic leadership, or organizational influence, while paying limited attention to how competing forms of religious authority are reconstructed through decolonial processes and socio-religious power relations. Addressing this gap, this study examines how Ba‘alawi religious authority is decolonized and rearticulated in contemporary Indonesia through the perspectives of Habib Rizieq Shihab (Islamic Defenders Front), Habib Luthfi bin Yahya (Nahdlatul Ulama), and Habib Ahmad Baqbarah together with Habib Ahmad Ridho Assegaf (Shi’a). Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, and analyzed using decolonial theory in dialogue with Michel Foucault’s concept of power/knowledge. The comparative analysis of empirical data identified three distinct typologies of religious authority. The first is an Islamist model, which reconstructs religious authority through an integrative-formalistic understanding of Islam and the state while simultaneously engaging substantivist interpretations of Islamic political order. The second is a Moderate model, which legitimizes religious authority through nationalist discourse, devotion to the Ahl al-Bayt, and mawlid traditions as mechanisms for cultivating social cohesion and religious legitimacy. The third is an Ukhuwah model, developed within the Shi’a Ba‘alawi network, which reconstructs authority through the ethical teachings of Sayyidina ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib and promotes humanitarian solidarity across religious and social boundaries. These three typologies emerged from a comparative analysis of the actors’ religious narratives, organizational practices, and strategies for negotiating authority within Indonesian Muslim society. The study contributes to the scholarship on decolonial studies by demonstrating that the decolonization of religious authority is not a singular process of resisting inherited colonial structures, but a plural and contested process that generates multiple configurations of religious legitimacy and socio-religious power. It further extends debates on religious authority by proposing a comparative typology of Ba‘alawi authority that explains how competing decolonial projects reshape Islamic authority in contemporary Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examined a structural model in which self-efficacy, emotion regulation, adaptive coping, and socio-emotional factors (social support, social adjustment, and religious coping) predict mental toughness among students in Indonesian Islamic boarding schools (pesantren). A total students from 12 pesantren in Central Java and Yogyakarta participated; after data screening, 654 respondents (95.2% valid response rate) were retained for analysis. Mental toughness, emotion regulation, self-efficacy, and adaptive coping were measured using the Mental Toughness Questionnaire-48 (MTQ48), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE), and Brief COPE, while socio-emotional factors were measured using the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), Social Adjustment Scale-Self Report (SAS-SR), and Religious Coping Scale (RCOPE), all adapted for the pesantren context through translation, back-translation, and pilot testing. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in AMOS version 28.0. The hypothesized model showed excellent fit to the data, χ²(247) = 389.74, p < .001, χ²/df = 1.58, CFI = .97, TLI = .96, RMSEA = .031 (90% CI [.025, .037]), SRMR = .041. Self-efficacy showed the strongest direct effect on mental toughness (β = .35, p < .001), followed by emotion regulation (β = .28, p < .001) and adaptive coping (β = .18, p < .001). Among socio-emotional factors, social adjustment had the strongest effect (β = .16, p < .001), and its indirect pathway through self-efficacy was the strongest mediating mechanism identified (point estimate = .109, 95% CI [.068, .155]). These findings indicate that psychological resources, rather than socio-emotional resources alone, are the primary proximal drivers of mental toughness in the pesantren context, with socio-emotional support operating largely through its influence on self-efficacy. Practical implications point toward psychopedagogical programs that prioritize self-efficacy and emotion-regulation training, supported by structured mentoring and religious coping resources.
